![]() ![]() ![]() “I mean, each and every day, there’s a transfer guy in here. “Like, a minute as soon as your name is in there, it's crazy, how many calls you'll get.”Īs one of just two assistant coaches that Freeze retained from the previous staff, Cadillac Williams had to quickly switch from interim head coach to key recruiter for a roster overhaul that Auburn had to start immediately. “It's like, the second you're eligible in the portal - the second your name finally gets put in the portal - stuff just happens quick and fast,” Fairweather said earlier this spring. But that didn’t keep them from reaching out to the FIU tight end as soon as they could. ![]() They wouldn’t have one for several weeks. When Rivaldo Fairweather entered the transfer portal in early December, it hadn’t been a full week since Hugh Freeze was officially hired at Auburn. ![]() ![]() As we distribute ourselves, we may abandon ourselves. Yet, suddenly, in the half-light of virtual community, we may feel utterly alone. ![]() We recreate ourselves as online personae and give ourselves new bodies, homes, jobs, and romances. We build a following on Facebook or MySpace and wonder to what degree our followers are friends. After an evening of avatar-to avatar talk in a networked game, we feel, at one moment, in possession of a full social life and, in the next, curiously isolated, in tenuous complicity with strangers. Tethered to technology, we are shaken when that world “unplugged” does not signify, does not satisfy. Things that happen in “real time” take too much time. Adults, too, choose keyboards over the human voice. Teenagers avoid making telephone calls, fearful that they “reveal too much.” They would rather text than talk. We talk of getting “rid” of our e-mails, as though these notes are so much excess baggage. As we instant-message, e-mail, text, and Twitter, technology redraws the boundaries between intimacy and solitude. ![]() ![]() We are offered robots and a whole world of machine-mediated relationships on networked devices. “.we are changed as technology offers us substitutes for connecting with each other face-to-face. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ende was going for, why should we like Bastian if he doesn't even like himself, but it just gnawed at me throughout. I understand he was a human in Fantastica and all he was losing himself and his memory and all that jazz, but he didn't keep any shred of likeableness (if that's a word). one of the main things that bothered me throughout, I guess the second half of the book is that I really, really, didn't like Bastian at all. Needless to say it didn't work out to well, and anyway what movie and book are really the same? Anyway, my impressions of the book version of TNS. ![]() ![]() The Neverending Story, what can I say, well, first off, I couldn't help but compare the book to the movie in my head, even though I haven't seen the movie in god knows how many years, and this is the first time I've read the book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Before Offill settled on the title Weather, the book had two earlier titles: Learning to Die and, later, American Weather. A New York Times article about Paul Kingsnorth further inspired both the novel and Offill's interest in the climate. The novel grew out of conversations between Offill and novelist Lydia Millet concerning the potential impacts of climate change. Offill worked on Weather for around seven years. of Speculation and praise for its structure. The novel received mostly positive reviews, with favorable comparisons to Offill's previous novel, Dept. The book takes place before and after Donald Trump becomes president of the United States and depicts Lizzie's family life and her concerns about climate change. ![]() The novel is narrated by a college librarian, Lizzie. ![]() Weather is a 2020 novel by American writer Jenny Offill. ![]() ![]() I agree with his suspicion, but I do think that calling Undermajordomo Minor Patrick deWitt’s take on a fairy tale is more apt than calling The Handmaid’s Tale Margaret Atwood’s take on dystopian future.īy calling something a take necessarily summons a coopting, and to me that is exactly how Undermajordomo Minor reads. However, he says he is suspicious of the lines drawn by calling what Patrick deWitt has done a "take" and goes on to rope Margaret Atwood into the dividing line conversation. The writer Daniel Handler in his New York Times review suggested this book could be considered Patrick deWitt’s “take” on a fairy tale. The trouble is that they often read as authorial intrusions or word play, rather than ideas generated from within the story or the characters, making them surprising but not necessarily delightful. Undermajordomo Minor has its moments of good character dialogue and the writing is more than competent - some truly wonderful notions appear at the sentence level. ![]() ![]() Lucien (Lucy) Minor has gained employment at a mysterious barony in the Castle Von Aux, a fantastical realm equipped with royals and thieves and a constant, meaningless war. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the unnamed narrator's account, his cargo ship is captured by an Imperial German sea-raider in "one of the most open and least frequented parts of the broad Pacific". ![]() The story is the testament of a tortured, morphine-addicted man who relates an incident that occurred during his service as an officer during World War I. It is considered by many to be one of Lovecraft's most forward-looking stories. Dagon was later published in Weird Tales in October 1923.
